A letter for Pittsburgh

01 November, 2018

CAMDEN’S faith leaders have written a joint letter to the Tree of Life Synagogue in Pittsburgh

• Dear Community of the Tree of Life Synagogue in Pittsburgh, we, as faith leaders in the London Borough of Camden in the UK, were devastated to hear about the heinous attack on your synagogue over the Jewish Sabbath.

We are conscious that the poisonous hate that drove this attack could have been directed at any of us, and you have our full solidarity.

We read with admiration about your tremendous work in support of refugees, and your other good works for the wider community.

We hope that you can continue to be a light to all peoples and live your faith with pride. The world needs more communities like yours.

The wicked actions of the person who took the lives of 11 members of your community has only succeeded in drawing us closer together with the desire to emulate all that is good about what you do.
